All About Buttons

Well, we made it successfully to Ohio relatively in one piece. Traveling in general is tiring, travelling with two kids will flat out knock you on your keester. Or maybe it is just travelling with my kids that will knock you on your keester...

We got to the airport early to allow us enough time. Or so we thought. Once we got into the terminal we were horrified to see a long line to check in. After 30 minutes in the queue we got up to the ticket counter/automated check in. As I was checking in Liam decided to jump up and press the "Deutch" button on the screen, thereby converting everything to German. Because I do not speak German nor read German, I was stuck. I couldn't go back or forward. This caused the machine to melt down and stall which forced an attendant to come over which forced Mommy to yell at Liam "NO PRESSING BUTTONS!!" which caused Liam to meltdown crying holding his baby Ralston pitifully in front of a hundred people which caused Mommy to feel bad and tired and like Joan Crawford of Mommy Dearest fame.

Actually, I sit here typing this Liam just decided to randomly reach over and press the printer button on and off. Earlier today he decided he would figure out how to reprogram Grandpa's TV. He is suddenly all about pressing buttons, pulling levers, and anything similar. Don't anyone let him near a nuclear missle silo...
